AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This initiative proposed setting the general speed limit at 130 km/h on highways and 100 km/h on other roads outside urban areas. At the time, the general limits were 120 and 80 km/h. Lower limits would still have been possible on particularly dangerous roads, while higher limits could have been permitted on suitable roads. Supporters argued that the lower limits unnecessarily restricted drivers and provided limited environmental benefits. Opponents argued that the existing limits improved road safety, reduced pollution and should not be fixed in the constitution. Swiss voters rejected the initiative.
